I can't stay away from the subject of Sarah Palin. I've been looking at the trashiest stories, too. Nothing to do with her stands on important issues (or if Alaska's proximity to Russia means she's got experience with foreign issues). Some of my conclusions from the wading into useless dreck: She's far better looking than she was when she did sportscasting. Say what you like about her, I think she's pretty. She's probably got the sort of charisma that gives me the willies. A lot of people who are considered inspiring make me want to escape their presence. A form of jealousy? A sense of inferiority? Maybe. Anyway, from the reports I've read, she's supposed to be the sort of person who makes you feel as if she's listening to you and cares about your opinion. She's got a room-filling presence. Eeearrrgh. All of that sounds just like what they said about Bill Clinton. I never particularly paid attention to the fact that Hillary is female--sure
Congratulations! That is so great, it is so,so hard to lose weight After A Certain Age.
ReplyDeleteCongrats. That is so great. My fat is stagnated. Sounds gross, huh?
ReplyDeleteGreat! Only, forget about BMI. It's an imperfect measure which fails miserably for a number of body types. Ultimately, all that really matters is how you feel (and, to a lesser degree, how you look).
ReplyDeletemegan--Yeah, that certain age for me was once I started having kids and eating the peanut-butter and jelly crusts.
ReplyDeleteCD--your fat is ummmm, what? Can you like stir it up or something?
Doug--but bmi sounds so scientific. Acronyms! Measurements! Yay!
Congrats, Kate. Maybe that makes up for the historical you have to perform open book surgery on?
ReplyDeleteBTW, I set up a gmail account due to issues with my "real" email, and this conflicted with my blogger ID, so until I figure out how to merge them I show up as "Charlene" instead of "Charlene Teglia" so you know who the hell is commenting. Sorry about that.
ReplyDeleteI know who you are. There is only ONE Charlene after all.
